More time put in

After getting some other priority work done I returned to the port of color is it turns out the tuner David Cleaning and the fine tuning assembly that swings over to engage the gear to the tuner strips were stuck. Dried up Lube. Used some acetone on AQ tip and continuously swab and dropped to the point of movement and then more acetone on AQ tip to draw out the old Lube via capillary action. Didn't wanna take it apart because there are some nylon parts I was afraid might break. Fine tuning is working well. AGC was a cold solder connection at this point I have a usable picture but it clearly needs alignment and touch up along the way. Looking for a schematic or alignment info for this. Anybody have anything like this or a suggestion where one can be downloaded?

The CRT appears good black and white tracking seems good high to low although focus is not the greatest. Could be a soft rectifier tube or I'll just try the other taps to see if it improves on a better selection.
